I have been working at Centner, and my 9-year-old son has been attending this school for the past few months, and I could not be happier. The staff members are amazing—they care deeply for the students and are always willing to go the extra mile to support their needs. The school offers multiple languages and a well-rounded curriculum that extends beyond core subjects to include art, music, mindfulness, entrepreneurship, public speaking, and a comprehensive physical education program focused not only on sports skills but also on exercises and drills to enhance cognitive development. The parent community is incredible—it truly takes a village to raise a child, and having an engaged and supportive group of parents where their voices are heard is vital for helping students thrive. I could not be happier to have my son attend this incredible school, and I feel honored to be part of this school family.

We have three children at Centner Academy in 4th, 7th, and 10th grades. They could not be happier with their experience.A typical day at school starts with mindfulness, continues with strong academics, and includes P.E. and recess every day, and specials (foreign languages, art, music, sound healing, entrepreneurship, and technology) every week. The organic food served in the cafeteria comes straight from the school's regenerative farm and is homemade daily by the chef.The school offers many events and activities that parents can be involved in. The Bee Happy Marketplace, Parent and Child Bonding, and the Regener8 Farm Festival are some examples of last month's happenings.All of the teachers and staff are super professional, loving, and kind and truly live out the school's core values.We feel so blessed to be a part of the Centner community!
